30 minutes video explaining how allowing Iran to extort money from ships passing through the Strait of Hormuz will regress world trade to pre-UNCLOS era and roll back globalization.

The entire world goes down the shitter thanks to your favorite all-American demented orange fascist manbaby, his Heritage Foundation handlers, the spineless sycophantic GOP elected officials and the mentally incompetent MAGA voters.

Well worth a watch.

Imagine using "US Global Hegemony" as anything but a pejorative. The US has been overthrowing governments, aiding (and participating) in colonialism, and suppressing actual free trade and free market economics for 100+ years. Iran is "extorting" companies whose trade props up the Gulf states who sold their souls (and sovereign wealth funds) to the US corporatocracy.
